Under his control, the planetoids rained down onto the tsutsuki homeworld.
tsutsuki warriors sensed the threat and immediately leapt into action, appearing in the sky and trying to deflect or teleport the incoming celestial bodies.
Many of them had spatial powers.
But Zhongli wasn't about to give them that chance.
With a surge of power, he sealed the space.
Those attempting to intervene froze midair.
His summoned meteors, however, remained unaffected, hurtling downward like falling stars.
"Damn it!!"
The tsutsuki elite watched helplessly, their expressions twisted in rage.
Though their planet had already been nearly depleted, countless inhabitants still lived there.
And now, they were under siege?
For all their centuries of dominance in the universe, this was a first.
Fury erupted across the clan. They wanted nothing more than to rip that figure in space to shreds.
But with the space sealed, they could only watch as their planet was bombarded.
Many of the weaker tsutsuki were slaughtered.
Zhongli hovered in space, watching silently.
Mushroom clouds bloomed across the planet.
Countless tsutsuki members perished in the bombardment.
Not all tsutsuki were strongmany were weaker than even elite ninja.
Let alone surviving a direct hit from Zhongli's meteors.
This was his first time using this particular technique.
He wasn't sure how powerful it would be, but now he was impressed.
It was perfect for attacking planets.
Still, Zhongli didn't dwell on the destruction. He turned his gaze to the stronger tsutsuki emerging from the ruins.
As they advanced, Zhongli calmly summoned his shield and launched his counterattack.
Chapter 529: The tsutsuki Clan Faces an Unprecedented Enemy
The tsutsuki clan faced an unprecedented enemy.
Zhongli alone had managed to punch through their homeworld. Even some tsutsuki who were on nearby planets rushed back upon receiving the news. They had no choiceif they didn't return now, their home would be gone.
Understandably, their fury was immense.
They hadn't expected anyone to dare invade their homeworld.
However, those who were on their way back were intercepted and ambushed mid-journey. They were taken down before they could even clearly see their enemies.
This was all Takumi's doing.
After parting ways with Zhongli, Takumi created numerous clones and sent them across the universe to hunt down any scattered tsutsuki.
Whenever he found one, he simply captured them.
Even the one closest to the so-called "tsutsuki God" was captured by Takumi.
In just two days, Takumi either eliminated or detained every tsutsuki in the universe.
The tsutsuki clan had effectively been wiped out by Takumiwithout even a hint of resistance.
After completing his mission, Takumi finally felt satisfied.
He returned to the tsutsuki homeworld. By that time, Zhongli had already taken care of things there.
Even the Ten-Tails and other significant items had been collected.
"Take these back," Zhongli said. "You might have use for them."
Though uncertain if Takumi needed them, Zhongli had gathered them anyway.
Takumi accepted everything without hesitation. These things were his now.
Along with the captured tsutsuki, Mobius now had plenty of research material.
After finishing all this, Zhongli asked, "Did you gain anything?"
Having defeated the entire tsutsuki race, Takumi must've obtained a great deal.
"Indeed," Takumi nodded. "For example, I can now become an tsutsuki myself."
As he spoke, his eyes turned pure whiteit was the Byakugan.
Then they shifted into the Tenseigan.
After that, they changed into the Sharingan, then Mangeky Sharingan, then the Rinnegan, and finally into the Rinne Sharingan.
Takumi could switch between them effortlessly.
When he defeated the first tsutsuki, he had already analyzed their genetics.
If necessary, Takumi could even mass-produce the tsutsuki.
He considered turning them into a race within his world.
Initial state: become an tsutsuki. If you want to grow stronger or obtain a Divine Treethen work for it.
Takumi had already envisioned a complete capitalist exploitation system.
Seeing Takumi's approach, Zhongli nodded in approval.
"Not bad. The tsutsuki are indeed plentiful."
Upon growing, they were at least star-destroying level, with all kinds of strange abilitiesspace-time manipulation among them.
Though there was a limit to their growth, it was still an excellent bloodlinebetter than the Vision system.
"I plan to make it widespread," Takumi said with a smile. "If you ever need any, I can provide some!"
"For now, let's return."
It had been several days since they set out.
Minato's wife should be giving birth soon.
The Night of the Nine Tails was about to begin.
Zhongli nodded. "Alright."
After stretching his muscles, Zhongli felt quite good.
Now it was time to watch the drama unfold, then return.
Takumi opened a space portal and brought Zhongli back to Konoha Village.
It was already nighttime in Konoha.
The moment he returned, Takumi sensed the Nine-Tails' chakra leaking out.
Minato's wife had already begun labor.
No the battle had already started.
The Nine-Tails had been released.
With a ripple in space, Obito appeared above Konoha.
However, he was already in tatters, his mask shattered, his face twisted in madness.
"Summoning Jutsu!"
Rooaar!!
An enraged roar echoed above Konoha.
A massive fox was summoned.
But before the fox could do anything, it was attacked.
"Fire Style: Great Fireball Technique!!"
The attacker was from the Uchiha clan.
After Takumi and Zhongli had left, Minato had started making preparations.
He maintained a good relationship with the Uchiha clan.
Moreover, the clan leader's wife was close friends with his own wife.
Because of this, Minato had directly approached Fugaku Uchiha, asking him to assist during the childbirth.
The Uchiha clan was thrilled.
The Hokage personally requesting their help?
Assigning the Police Force to guard during the Hokage's wife's delivery?
It was a great honor.
They eagerly accepted.
Some were even excited, feeling recognized again.
The Third Hokage and others objected when they found out, but Minato insisted.
Moreover, Minato had summoned both Jiraiya and Tsunade back.
His reason for finding Tsunade was simplehis wife was about to give birth.
When Kushina had first come to Konoha, Tsunade had raised her like a little sister.
They both lived in the Senju clan's compound.
So they were very close.
Knowing where Tsunade might be, Minato went and retrieved her himself.
And along came Jiraiya.
Your grand-student is about to be bornhow can you not come?
Tsunade came back, so Jiraiya had no excuse.
In the end, Jiraiya returned too.
Even Orochimaru had been secretly brought back by Minato.
It was simpleonce Orochimaru heard about the otherworldly events, he couldn't resist.
At first, a fight almost broke out.
Orochimaru was ready to shed his skin and flee.
But Minato's revelations piqued his interest.
In the end, he agreed to return.
Minato even demonstrated things, leaving Orochimaru no choice but to believe.
Plus, the power Minato now possessed was no longer chakra.
This was the preparation Minato had made.
However, Orochimaru's return was kept secret. He remained hidden in the shadows.
Thanks to all these preparations, when Obito arrived, he took a punch from Tsunade and was immediately surrounded.
But due to the childbirth, the Nine-Tails was still released.
Sensing things were going south, Obito forcefully summoned the Nine-Tails into the residential area.
Only to be blocked by the Uchiha clan, who had been stationed there in advance.
Chapter 530: Danzo, You're Really Bold
Takumi and Zhongli returned just in time to witness the scene before them the Uchiha Clan was launching a coordinated attack on the Nine-Tails.
More and more ninja were joining the assault. Close behind them came Jiraiya, accompanied by a giant toad.
Takumi and Zhongli stood atop a building, quietly observing everything unfold.
"Tsk tsk! Iconic scene, iconic scene! Hey, old man, wanna throw up a shield?" Takumi joked.
Hearing this, Zhongli looked up. The Tailed Beast Bomb had already been charged.
Without hesitation, he uttered, "Unified Protection."
As Zhongli's voice fell, everyone in Konoha was instantly shrouded in a thick layer of geo energy, forming a solid shield around them.
The sudden development left everyone bewildered.
What was going on?
"Keep attacking!!" Jiraiya suddenly shouted.
That shield... Could it be those two people Minato mentioned?
Quick to react, Jiraiya urged everyone to continue their attack.
But the Tailed Beast Bomb had already launched, aimed straight at the Hokage Office.
At the last second, a flash of golden light appeared Minato made his dazzling entrance.
He had already made sure his wife was safe, with Tsunade accompanying her.
Using Flying Thunder God: Guiding Thunder, he teleported the Tailed Beast Bomb away just in time.
Watching the scene unfold, Takumi couldn't help but comment:
"I swear, Minato waited on purpose just to make a dramatic entrance! No proof, but that's my hunch."
"Emm..." Zhongli chose not to comment.
Still, Minato's sudden appearance significantly boosted the morale of the defenders.
With Minato now in action and Zhongli's shield already deployed, the situation quickly stabilized.
Thanks to Zhongli's shield, there were almost no casualties in Konoha.
The power of geo brought peace of mind.
Many were deeply grateful to Zhongli, even though they didn't know who was responsible. The shield had genuinely saved their lives.
People who would have otherwise died in the chaos survived. It was a win for everyone.
Even Obito got tagged with a new, even more covert Flying Thunder God marker by Minato one using Honkai energy, so Obito had no idea where it was placed.
After resolving the Nine-Tails situation, Minato resealed the beast back into Kushina this time, without splitting it. The entire beast was sealed intact.
Once finished, Minato vanished again.
With the crisis in Konoha resolved, the next step was to clean up loose ends like catching Obito.
Takumi and Zhongli watched everything, feeling that their work here was done.
"Next, I'll go handle moving this world," Takumi said.
"Old man, hang around here for a while."
With nothing left to do, Takumi got to work immediately.
He decided to pack up this entire world.
As for Zhongli, he would return later after Takumi had relocated the world.
Zhongli didn't object, instead calmly waiting.
The turmoil in Konoha had come and gone quickly.
Thanks to prior preparations, the chaos didn't escalate. The worst damage was just a few destroyed buildings.
It was a lucky outcome, considering the scale.
Zhongli, having watched enough, vanished to find a place to rest.
Konoha likely wouldn't be sleeping tonight. With all that happened, who could rest?
Might as well find a place to drink.
...
What happened afterward had little to do with Takumi.
He left the Naruto world and started packing it up.
Once the world was secured, Takumi returned to his own world and set it down.
He then built a communication system and transport gateway.
The gateway was installed in Konoha Village, in the area previously ravaged by the Nine-Tails a perfect location.
With the site decided, Takumi returned to Konoha and immediately got to work.
He didn't care for secrecy, instantly constructing a massive gate.
As soon as Takumi began, nearby Uchiha ninja immediately surrounded him, startled by the flattened land.
What the heck was going on?
From the Hokage Office, Minato also sensed it.
The surge of Honkai energy was impossible to ignore.
So, just as the ninja surrounded Takumi, Minato arrived.
"Lord Hokage!"
Seeing Minato, the would-be attackers quickly bowed.
"Don't worry!" Minato said.
"He's not an enemy."
He walked over, examining what had been built.
Minato was astonished.
Takumi quickly completed the portal, then explained:
"All done. In a few minutes, this gateway will lead directly to my world."
"I'll also be stationing some Mechanoids here."
"If any trouble arises in your world, these Mechanoids can help resolve it."
"That's their main function. Just letting you know in advance."
Minato was stunned, then quickly nodded.
"Alright! That's fine by me!!"
He already knew what the Mechanoids were capable of.
With everything done, Takumi disappeared.
Minato would handle the rest and explain things to the others.
The sudden appearance of the massive portal drew lots of attention.
The gateway was so tall that all of Konoha could see it.
It shocked many people.
The Third Hokage and others received word immediately and rushed to the scene.
Seeing Minato already there, the elders swarmed over.
"Minato, what's going on here??"
The Third Hokage was baffled.
What was with this giant gate?
He felt like he couldn't keep up with the changes in the world anymore.
Last night, Konoha was attacked. Today, a massive gate appears?
What was happening to this world?
"This is a good thing!" Minato assured them.
With everyone gathered, Minato slowly began explaining everything.
As he spoke, many were wide-eyed with shock.
Another world?
A different world?
The crowd couldn't stay calm.
Danzo, arriving later, wore a greedy expression.
"Minato, gather the ninja! Let's conquer that world immediately!!"
The moment he said that, the whole scene fell silent.
You're really bold, Danzo.
And just as he finished, the few Mechanoids Takumi had left behind all turned their gaze toward him.
Chapter 531: Danzo Is Gone?
Danzo was gone.
He was instantly eliminated by several Mech-Kai species that locked onto him without giving anyone present time to react. He simply vanished.
After eliminating Danzo, the Mech-Kai calmly announced:
"Unstable element has been eradicated. Entering normal mode."
Having said that, they returned to standing silently in place.
The people of Konoha were completely dumbfounded.
"Dan... Danzo?"
Hiruzen Sarutobi stared at the scene in disbelief. Danzo was just... gone?
